hi ,can anyone tell me what size air filter will fit a dt125x

Hi there - just joined the site after getting my first bike 5 months ago - loving it! Have spent hours on the site already and learnt loads - thanks!! Can anyone help me with what will probably sound like a stupid question. I've just bought the Evotech tail tidy online and from the instructions it seemed simple to fit - so at the weekend set to by removing the seat cowl - only to find a whole host of plastic and seemingly no way to get to the bolts so i could unscrew the factory fitted set . Any tips on what to do next? I removed as much as i could to see if the black plastic bit could be lifted but it seems to go under the seat and contain various bits of ba…

Hi to everyone,has anybody out there had any experience with fitting hid kits.I currently have a s2 fazer on a 57 plate and as a few have mentioned i find the dipped/daylight lamp not that brill.I didn't want to wire up the other side as a few have done,so i've tried different all singing bulbs but all are pretty much the same.I like the idea of the hid retro fit kits, So question is; are they any good.And as a newbie to all this modern kit do they pose any probs to the bike electrics. Many thanks for any help.

I know this isn't bike related, but I reckon I can't be the only one that uses a wireless network at work or home and should take notice of this. Or not. It's your choice. Basically, this link: http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/1106...tory=ts_wpahack is a news story relating the first serious hack of a wireless network with WPA encrytion enabled.

Ok now the bike has been successfully run in now and had its first service. it now runs lovely and smooth. What a dream of a motorcycle to ride. My only `niggle` is the gears. The bike dosent seem to need all of them, going from 1st to 2nd its like just pulling in the clutch in first gear and letting it out in 1st gear, no difference.....lol. Anyway i have been told that thats the way the fz2 60 is anyway. It still sounds `cluncky` in the gears but again been tolsd thats what the bike does. So now setting my sights on taking it into Europe on a `jaunt`......lol, (got to make most of the free european breakdown that came with it)...lol, so anyone out there done this t…

It's a bummer! So what's it like back there in the UK then?

Hi There just wondered if there was any one else out there with one of these ? if you were there what a good party ! You may remember me as I was the one trying to get on the ice XS1100 near the end of the night !!!! If there is anyone out there with one it would be good to hear from you .... to remember that good night ! Regards Jim

Hi all just to say hello have a Kawasaki H2B 1974 and aYamaha DT250MX 1981,used to have a FZR1000RU but had to sell

Well, under threat of a hiding from Goff (I interpreted ) I'm introducing myself rather late as I've been a member for a wee while. As my username suggests, I'm from Northern Ireland but I live in Birmingham. I did my CBT on 12th August and picked up my YBR125 5 days later. Nice little bike, but I'm having so much trouble with the gears (ie getting into 2nd ). Anyway I'm dealing with that atm and trying hard to carry on enjoying learning to ride. I'm a fat lass called Chris (Chrisi or Christine to my family) married to Chris (honestly) and we've two dogs. Hubby has a baby Varadero atm which I'm hoping to inherit when he does his DAS course as I can't do mi…

Hi all have a 1975 DT250 the serial numbers starts 512-001 but the manual call them 250A 250B 250C can anyone throw some light on this thanks

Hi All, Is there any way of increasing the sound level or getting a more noticeable note out of a standard FAZER 1000 exhaust can (mine's an '05). Has anyone done it? The standard can seems to perform ok but is dangerously quiet startling every car driver you pass as they never seem know you've been behind them for the last mile or two. It seems a shame to have to replace the std can with an aftermarket item in the interests of rider safety, I'm not looking for more power, its got plenty and the bike's perfect as far as I'm concerned. I just want to advertise I'm there as I'm getting fed up with dopey drivers not looking in their mirrors. Best regards to all.

I passed my car test with flying colours, but, that was 6 years ago... Has anyone else done the hazard perception section on here? What is it like? I got a DVD with Suzi Perry in it, but, not looked at it yet... Wish me luck...

Hi all, as per title i'm new live in dundee (jockland) and one of my bikes is an xs250 Dave

Hi folks!! Just wondering if anyone has grafted a newer seat / tail unit onto a 3HE FZR? Seen pics of streetfighters with R6 conversions and think it looks quite good (tho can understand its not everyone's taste). Is it a lot of work, as i'm about to strip my bike down for some rework and tempted to give it a shot. Thanks - look forward to hearing responses.

Does the fazer 600 restrict well ive heard that different engine types restrict better than other engine types is this true

just bought 04 r6 fitted with power commander dyno read that the guy had done says max bhp 105 i thought bike was 121bhp standard and all sites iv looked on confirm the bike is 121-123bhp any ideas

HI ALL. MUCH AS I LOVE MY FZR, ITS STARTING TO DRIVE ME MAD. AS I MENTIONED IN LAST POSTING, I WAS SEEKING HELP TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM WHERE BIKE KEEPS RUNNING BATTERY CELLS COMPLETELY DRY. NOW, BIKE HAS ALSO DEVELOPED AN UNHEALTHY APPETITE FOR HEADLIGHT BULBS! BULBS WERE REPLACED ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO, BUT DIPPED FILAMENT HAS BLOWN ON BOTH SIMULTANEOUSLY. NORMALLY NOT HUGE DEAL BUT MY JAP SEC BULBS COST £38 PER SET - SO I'M SURE YOU CAN UNDERSTAND MY FRUSTRATION!!! ANYBODY HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS OR GOT ANY IDEAS? OH, AND HOW DO I ADD PICS? WANTED TO ADD ONE OF MY BIKE TO LET EVERYONE SEE. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DECAL SUPPLIERS? AN ELDERLY GENTLEMAN CAR DRIVER …

Quick hello from a newbie to the site. Total petrol nut...drive a P1 and now progressed to a Cat to beat the Friday traffic on the M6 Missus says it's a mid-life crisis Paul

Hi guys / girls had a quick browse this site looks great. Off to post now mark

Howdy all! Thought i'd say hi as im new here. Got a few friends who ride bikes and they've finally given me the bug. I've put in for my bike test and im just waiting for some times and dates etc. Looking to get myself a FZ6 when i pass my test and i guess if i had one, this is the place to get advice. Hoping to learn a bit from you guys too! Sorry to bore you, but just thought i'd explain myself a bit. Cheers Weasle!
